I’m fine with the current scoring system because I like to see athletes pushing the boundaries and attempting quads. I’m excited that 2014 looks like a repeat of 2002. I don’t want skaters to play it safe and regress to 2010 technical standard.

That's my basic sentiment as well. But if the scoring system changes into punishing more severly on multiple falls, I see it as an improvement for the better.

So true! And good for Takahashi for not being afraid of falls!

Exactly. Jeremy knew that his 4T wasn't reliable at all. In fact, he misses it most of the time. But he still tried it. That is the spirit that should be praised at least.
